Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, socket set, torque wrench, fuel pressure gauge, multimeter, vacuum gauge.
• Safety Warnings: Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems. Allow the engine to cool before starting repairs.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

1. Remove the engine cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
2. Disconnect the ignition coils and remove them from the spark plugs.
3. Remove the spark plugs using a spark plug socket and inspect for wear or damage.
4. Replace with new spark plugs that meet OEM specifications, ensuring the correct gap.
5. Reinstall the ignition coils and reconnect electrical connectors.

3. Test and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

2. If any coils are faulty, remove them using a socket set.
3. Install new ignition coils and ensure they are seated correctly.

4. Inspect Fuel System

1. Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail to check for proper pressure.
2. If pressure is below specifications, inspect the fuel filter for clogs and replace if necessary.
3. Remove the fuel injectors and clean them using an ultrasonic cleaner or replace them if they are clogged.

5. Check for Vacuum Leaks

1. Visually inspect all vacuum hoses for cracks or disconnections.
2. Use a vacuum gauge to test for leaks; repair or replace any faulty hoses.

6. Clean MAF Sensor and Throttle Body

1. Disconnect the MAF sensor and remove it from the intake duct.
